Join us for a lively discussion and book signing at The Frugal Muse in Darien on Oct. 2 at 6 p.m. New releases of THE TRUST are available, as well as Once We Were Brothers, Saving Sophie and Karolina’s Twins.

And so here it is, a heart-wrenching but ultimately triumphant story of a woman named Lena Woodward, an 89-year-old Holocaust survivor, who asks Catherine and Liam to track down her childhood friend’s twin daughters, who had been lost while being transported to a concentration camp. Again, the historical details are compelling, if harrowing, and the pace brisk. The characters are memorable, as are the themes of friendship, courage and pain.

This photo is a great reminder of the lively discussion I had with Greg and Agata during BEA’s Books From Poland Event at the 57th Street Bookshop. Kudos to Agata for her new book, Family History of Fear.
